Jet Industries, Inc., located in Austin, Texas, was a company that sold battery electric vehicles during the late 1970s and early 1980s. The vehicles were converted from existing models from manufacturers such as Subaru, Mazda, Ford and Chrysler. Accounts of total vehicle sales vary, but Stan Skokan, the Northern California distributor for Jet Industries, estimated total output at over 1400 vehicles. The company was founded by A. Forbes Crawford and William L. Bales. Bales previously founded Tri-Motor Corp., an electric golf cart company, which he sold in 1960, and then founded a snowmobile company that he sold in 1970, later to become Chaparral Snowmobiles. Jet Industries was incorporated in 1977 and discontinued operations in the early 1980s.
